The referee shorts, are pleated, snap top button, zipper fly and draw string all are extra improvements over typical... to make these shorts the finest, top end referee uniform I have work in 20 years. The pleats render a dressy vs the baggy look. I also bought a set of flags, all for an unreal price. I plan to add a red and blue ref jersey. Now that I can trust the workmanship of these goods... Rugged quality like it was back in the day... What a value... FIVE STARS *****
